PoC Vs Prototype Vs MVP
Source: https://proquantic.com/
What is POC?
PoC, or proof of concept, is an essential aspect of software
development.
It involves a feasibility study of the product before being fully
developed.
Considered a stand-alone, internal project, it helps startup
owners understand and explore the tools, resources, and
technical capabilities.
PoC validates that their ideas are viable and can be put
into practice for the final development of the digital
product.
Smart POC practice that work
Set your specific goals
Identification of tangible project output
Executing proof of concept
KPI monitoring
What is prototype?
Prototyping is needed to get a clear picture of the idea before full-scale
development.
A prototype helps startup owners create a visual model of system interaction
and explain user experience graphically.
The use of a prototype in software development is to clearly define
wireframe models and service specifications through visual short films.
It can help identify listed features for project implementation to develop
high-quality software that brings customers or stakeholders from across the
globe.
The benefits of prototyping
Innovative thinking and the generation of fresh ideas
Validation and shaping key features of UX development
Comprehensive visualization of complex development ideas
Scope to identify design and development mistakes
Implement improvements for software development
Prototype forms used in many startups
Low-fidelity: Categorized as hand-drawn, simple diagrams or sketches,
these prototype forms represent the basic flow and design layout of a
digital product.
High-fidelity: Entrepreneurs choose this form for highly detailed and
interactive prototypes for users.
Physical: If your requirement is a three-dimensional, tangible form of
product for clearly demonstrating industrial design and development
standards, this is the right choice.
Digital: It is utilized for mobile app development and software
development to stimulate the functionality of the product and improve
user experience.
Various prototyping models
Extreme: This model is utilized by developers for web development.
Incremental: In this model, the final product is further split into several
small stages, each comprising individually developed prototypes.
Evolutionary: Here, the prototypes are developed consistently until
startups can build their actual scalable products.
Rapid: Often known as close-ended, these models help explore several
product-related ideas and receive feedback instantly.
What is a minimum viable product?
A minimum viable product serves as a cornerstone for startup business
models.
This development technique is also used in agile environments, when the
final software is ready to be tested for the market. MVP works on the
principle of demonstrating digital products with enough features that will
grab the attention of investors and customers.
It helps businesses understand what users want and improve their DevOps
products as per their demands.
Essential features of MVP development
Economical production
Demonstration core-features
Value addition to products
Identification of target audience
When to select POC
You are thinking about developing an innovative and unique product.
Your ideas for the final product need validation to ensure they are
technically feasible.
Out of many strategies for software development, you need technology
that suits the project.
You want more insights into the technical knowledge and product
features to share with your team.
When to start with a prototype
You are eager to visualize how the final product may look.
As an emerging entrepreneur, you want to explore and secure seed-
stage funding from potential stakeholders.
You have set focus groups and are ready to receive preliminary feedback
about your digital product.
There’s limited time to showcase your business ideas to stakeholders.
When to start with a prototype
You have found your target users and are ready to take their help in
understanding market reception.
Your final product needs to be presented without overspending on
development costs.
There’s an urgency to rapidly monetize your idea of a digital product.
What is the significance of POC startup?
Emerging companies rely on proof of concept to test whether an idea or
technology is technically feasible. It helps validate assumptions, minimize
risks, and engage stakeholders in the software development project.
With PoC, business owners can identify hidden challenges in advance,
which saves their time and money. It is the first step to turn a raw idea into
a real product, ensuring the solution works practically.
Does MPV come after POC?
Yes, MVP is considered after the PoC in the project development
lifecycle. Once the conceptualization confirms that the idea is
technically feasible, startup owners can proceed to develop a minimum
viable product.
MVP tests the core features of a digital product. PoC, on the other hand,
validates the questions regarding the building of the solution. MVP helps
new businesses gather user feedback, evaluate the market scenario, and
plan product improvement.
What are the various type of MVP?
Concierge MVP
Wizard of Oz MVP
Landing Page MVP
Single-Feature MVP
Crowdfunding MVP
Is a prototype the same as an MVP?
Dropbox: It launched with a short demo video to show how file syncing would
work, gathering user interest before building the actual product.
Buffer: The company tested its social media scheduling tool using a landing
page that explained the idea and collected sign-ups.
Twitter: This web-based platform started as an internal messaging tool at a
podcasting company. Each of its MVPs had limited features but validated
core functionality before scaling for global users.
Is MVP lean or agile?
MVP is closely aligned with both lean and agile principles. In lean
methodology, it helps avoid waste by building only the features necessary
to validate product assumptions. In agile, it fits within iterative development
cycles that emphasize continuous feedback and adaptation.
MVP allows startups and teams to release quickly, learn from real users, and
improve rapidly. In the custom software development process, a minimum
viable product is used as a core tactic by startups in both lean and agile
frameworks.
Thank You!
